Thanks for the replies - doesn't sound like it's worth downgrading to a LSD. I'll just deal with the rubber wear and learn how to handle it when she blows sideways! Cheers Max

OK I'm fairly new to this mechanical knowledge thing but learning fast. I've got an R33 S2 GTS-T that had a few mods done in Rice land (HKS fmic, cusco suspension, pod, 3 1/2" Blitz Nur Spec cat back). The compliancer also told me it had an aftermarket diff. From talking to a few people it seems to have a locker in it. When turning slow at full lock I can feel a fairly gentle clicking/gripping throught the steering wheel and the tyres slip a bit against each other - hence a locker? The outside casing is stamped 351 which I believe is a pretty standard general driving gear set-up. Thing is I don't know that I really want the locker - not going for full on drag racing stuff, and would rather a standard LSD for driveability and to save my tyres. To go the LSD option do I need to replace the whole diff or just some of the internals as someone told me. What's the locker set up worth and what would a standard LSD set me back. I know the only real way to check is probably pull it all apart but I'm not too interested in doing that, but if anyone can give me a bit more info I'd appreciate it.

Mothers - Mag and Aluminium Polish (from Autobarn and I guess anywhere) with a buffing wheel on a drill did a top finish on my Intercooler pipes and plenum (after much effort with sanding discs, wet and dry, etc etc!)

My Hicas light comes on every time after about 10km, turn car off and go again for 10 and on it comes. Rang the guy who sold it to me who checked with a mechanic mate etc etc. Turns out I have an aftermarket diff - locker apparently, and this is what happens when you mess with the original diff.

Sorry, it seems I've been bullshitted to, thanks Ken.

Have a set of R32 GTR wheels, 16 x 6 1/2 inch carrying 225/50 Federals that've only travelled about 3000km. Nice polished rims with one tiny mark on one rim only. No idea what price for them. I'd like to upgrade to a set of 18's but depends on what these are worth. Let me know what you reckon.
